Dad Doing Circuit Training

DAD added elbow knee crunches to his circuit at the beginning of the year. He had not appreciated the difference they made until now when Mom, curious about how to use the camera, snapped this picture.

Contrary to what Mom would tell you, he doesn't spend time gazing in a mirror.

Get over the icky, gross, sweaty hand and look at those abs.

Also, Dad lifted 45 lbs. dumbbells over head 4 times that particular session. That is amazing considering that 6 months ago he struggled to lift 25 lbs. per hand as many times.  His fifth attempt failed. But now his new goal is 45 lbs. 7 times over head.

Update: After two days rest and recovery, Dad duplicated the 45 lbs. per hand lift over head again four times and failing on the fifth attempt. Upward progress was stopped, not because he ceased progress, but because the collet loosened and allowed the plate weights to wobble.
